Norton slashes up to AU$160 off its best security suites for Black Friday

It’s an unfortunate fact that security threats are ubiquitous in today’s online world. Our computers, portable devices and even personal information online are all targets for cybercriminals, so it’s critical to be aware of these threats and take steps to help protect yourself. One of the easiest ways to help secure your devices from hackers and scammers is to employ a premium digital security suite, such as the highly regarded Norton 360.

Norton has been widely recognised as one of the top makers of on-device antivirus and anti-malware software for decades, but its threat-protection expertise doesn’t stop there. In 2024, it’s critical to also have the tools to help minimise threats that you can’t control (such as a service provider being hacked and leaking your logins and passwords) and to help ensure you’re following the best cybersecurity practices.

Norton 360 has stepped up to meet these new challenges by enhancing its suite of features, which now include essential security tools like a password manager, personal VPN and integrated cloud backup.

Our security editors here at Tom’s Guide think quite highly of Norton – it’s our #2 pick for paid security suites in our list of the best antivirus software packages, and in our Norton 360 review we found it generally succeeded in its mission to be “the most comprehensive malware and identity protection software around”.

Norton 360 supports a wide range of platforms, including Windows PC and Mac, as well as phones and tablets. A plethora of options cater to almost any household’s needs, from just a single device (Norton 360 Standard) all the way up to five devices (Norton 360 Premium). What’s more, for the Black Friday period (from now until Thursday, December 5) Norton is discounting the Norton 360 range, with savings of up to AU$160 on offer.
